If you have a Russian friend always keep an axe in your backpocket!
On September 20 I spoke with the amazing Ukrainian and Crimean Tatar, Zakhida Adylova. Zakhida is a teacher, interpreter, an NGO project coordinator, a civil activist and just in general a dedicated volunteer for Ukraine. In the conversation we dwelwe into the historical, political and cultural ties between Ukraine and the Crimean Tatars and talk about Zakhidas story of growing up in Crimea before fleeing to Ukraine when Crimea was annexed in 2014.
Personally i learned a lot, but what really struck me was the Crimean Tatar saying "If you have a Russian friend always keep an axe in your backpocket". It may appear a bit aggresive, but if you listen to the conversation, you will know why it more than makes sense!
